Seven Stories Up by Laurel Snyder

This is one of those books I heard such a buzz about on blogs and on Twitter.

I was not disappointed.

Annie, a twelve year old little girl, and her mother visit her dying grandmother who is an unhappy and downright cranky old lady. Annie wakes up back in 1937 and meets her grandmother as a little girl. Annie begins to understand the secrets of her grandmother's past which are key to understanding her present state of mind.

Although this book is a mixture of realistic fiction, historical fiction and fantasy, I think many readers will be able to relate with the characters and maybe understand how everyone needs to be treated with respect.

I have both of Laurel Snyder's books to read too. I asked her which one to read first and she said it would be interesting to try it the way you are... you'll have to post if that was ok! I'm hoping to get to both soon!
